He started as a TE for the Chargers earlier in his career. He is a really poor WR from hearing what the Panthers and Dolphins fan bases say but he does have excellent blocking ability for the position and good size.

He ran 4.38 at 6-2, 225 pounds.

The Patriots recently worked out wide receiver Legedu Naanee, cornerback Zack Bowman, and three other players, according to a league source.

In addition to Naanee and Bowman, the Patriots also worked out running back Lennon Creer, a 2012 undrafted free agent who spent time with the Redskins this past offseason, running back DuJuan Harris, a running back out of Troy who was waived by the Steelers on August 31, and offensive lineman Nyere Aumitare (Iowa).

Its not just the Panthers and Dolphins fanbases. This guy is a massive stiff._________________

I love his name and his size/speed combo, but he's shown over the years that he just doesn't have the fundamentals necessary to be a successful receiver. And he's gotten plenty of chances to assert himself._________________

Everything Naanee can do, Matthew Slater can do. I don't really see much difference beyond 2 inches and 10 lbs in size. I'd take Slater as a run blocker over Naanee and their receiving skills are pretty much a wash - though Naanee has obviously had more opportunity.

People see him as a converted tight end and get it in their head that he's a viable "move" option, but that's not the way he plays. He's a WR through and through - and a crappy one. Even his special teams ability is underwhelming._________________
